Citric Acid is completely natural. It gets it name from the citrus family, which includes lemons and limes. Citrus fruits owe their sharp and bitter taste to citric acid. When a recipe calls for "sour salt" it is referring to citric acid. It is a white granulated powder that is extracted from the juice of citrus and other acidic foods. It can also be created by fermenting glucose with special citric acid producing bacteria. Citric acid is commonly added to many foods and beverages as a preservative or for flavor. It has a tart taste, and is commonly known as lemon salt or sour salt. The strong, tart-taste of citric acid is used to flavor many foods and even a couple of salt-free blends.
